The Manage Update Sites dialog has little chance of being fully understood without external resources. I think we can do three things to improve user experience:

  1. Rename Host column to something along the lines of Username, Uploader, Upload Username.
  2. Remove Directory on Host column
    • Or hide it by default and provide a toggle button to show it
  3. Remove the need for webdav: from Host column cells. For any core update site the protocol will always be webdav so we can programmatically prepend it. This is also more future-proof if we change the protocol.
    • Alternatively, these cells could prompt the user with a multiple-choice/combo box of available protocols. But I think this is giving the user an unnecessary decision in most cases.
